Can I upload a video from a ccdtrv37 camera to my computer ? there would have to be some sort of device between the camera and the computer, I realize, as there are no usb ports on the camera

Dont know if to belive this is just a random question being asked or what, lol... But ill answer it, you're helping me level up!

Purchase a camera or use some sort of device that captures digital media......webcam...

Record your video from your device....Many people are now using their cell phones to do videos for youtube simply because its easier to upload from the app or some gallery's allow you to share a video to youtube for automatic upload. The only down fall to using a cell phone is that you might not be able to edit out certain parts you dont want in the video.. If you're using a webcam from a pc or laptop or some sorce of computer, record your video from the webcam then go to Windows Live Movie Maker, and edit out anything you do not want in the video. Successfully save the video to your computer. Then click the Youtube icon in Windows Movie Maker or manually go to youtube.com, click upload at the very top, and find the video on your device you're using.

That simple. Kinda common sense.

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos and videos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos and videos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

The manual for your Sony Handycam CCD-TRV37 can be found on the Sony eSupport website here:

Go to your profile page. the link to this page should be in the upper right and look like this:


Then go to your photos. the link to this page should be on the left hand side and look like this:


Then go to "Upload video." the link to this page should be on the upper right and look like this:


It will then prompt you to choose the file which you want to upload. then just click upload and you're all set!

Keep it simple- download vlc player which plays EVERYTHING. Plug in your camera to usb - start player - direct to usb device and play back.
That file you are looking for should be in your programs directory.

how u upload pics from camera thru USB , pls look where u download pics on ur pc Video files are also shown like pics and they are numbered in sequence with pics so look out for the video files in the copied folder of ur pc and see if u can find them other wise right click and arrange or sort content of the folder as SORT BY TYPE and then all pics will be separate and in the end or in the beginning u will find ur videos but rem the file number is in sequence and they are normally shown as pics ,

I had to install the software that came with the camera before it would properly work. Windows would recognize that some USB device had been plugged in but would not properly be able to tranfer data. Hope this helps.

The issue may be that your camera captures via FIREWIRE for video and USB for stills. It's a common issue. You'll need hook up your camera to a firewire port. If you don't have one due to this PCs age, you can always pick one up for about $20 and with XP pro, installation is practically plug and play.

But I'll tell you this. If you're computer is that old, do yourself a favor and double the memory. Video is a bandwidth hog and if you don't have enough RAM, you'll run into all sorts of dropped frames and synch issues.

It's also probably time to start looking to upgrade that Dell.

the computer might not automatically upload the file. it will detect the hardware, but not necessarily start uploading. if you have xp, try going into movie maker which is in your program list in the start menu. on the left hand side there is a few blue sentences, one is import video, another is import video from device. if you have your camera connected to the computer through firewire and have your camera on the vcr/playback mode, open movie maker and click import video from device, the computer will have already detected your camera, so the first option your given in the next screen should have the make and model of your camera to upload from.
